===Pulse Pistol===

Predictably a pistol-sized Pulse weapon, the Pulse Pistol is a far smaller version of the Tau Pulse Rifle.

As a pistol-sized Pulse weapon, it is only used by certain Tau personnel as a basic defense and hold-out weapon to be applied in desperate situations. The only time you'll ever see one of these on the board is if a [[Battlesuit]] equips an ejection system and the pilot bails out (''5th Edition''), on a Sniper Drone spotter (''6th edition''), or carried by a Fire Warrior. Even Drones are armed with Pulse Pistols, specifically [[Escort Drone|Escort Drones]] used by the Water Caste. That one is understandable since you can't really make a pacifistic impression when a bodyguard robot with two cannons is right besides you. Hilariously, this thing manages to retain the same shot-for-shot power ratio of a full-sized Pulse Rifle.

As hilarious is a part of 40k fluff (''[[Skub|depending on whether you find a dead Fishface turned into a Fishcake hilarious]]''): a lone Tau Water Caste was trying to secretly kill a [[Ultramarine|Smurf]] [[A Game of Pretend|by pretending to talk the angry blueman down through the use of]] [[Diplomacy]]. This includes speaking to him of Ultramarine culture and whether it would be considered honorable to kill an [[Bullshit|'unarmed']] woman and what [[Roboute Guilliman|Papa Smurf]] would think of this dishonor. Her weapon of choice? [[FAIL|A Pulse Pistol.]] Yes you heard us right – a Tau bred to be diplomats first and soldiers later actually thought it was a good idea to kill a supersoldier with lightning fast reflexes at ''close range'' with what counts as a really powerful [[Laspistol|flashlight]]. And if she'd succeeded the entire freaking Legion would probably have ganged up on the Tau and erased their existence in time for lunch.

Suffice to say, in a rare stroke of [[Awesome]], [[Cato Sicarius]] [[Derp|of ALL people]] saw through her [[Bullshit]] [[/d/|and proceeded to flatten and crush her to death with his hueg augmented blueberry muscles]].
